Just want to get some feedback on saya making from the pros. It's my first little stint at giving this a go and want to get feedback on how to improve. Like what kind of tools are you guys using, best wood for the job, and any other little tips and tricks.
These sayas I made in order of left to right, and I think they steadily improved each time, and they were all made using pine (I think), but the first one was stained, (wasn't such a great idea as it left a tacky finish). The tools I used were just a chisel, saw, wood glue and some sandpaper, finished with eithet danish oil or a bees wax based wood balm.
Thanks in advance for the advice.
